I'm Happy
I used this product because I make my own natural hair products, I use pure Aloe Vera gel in my hair butter and it was causing it to mold and turn rancid. I finally decided to use a preservative after doing a little research and finding that there is no such thing as an "organic" or "natural" preservative. I used this product along with some fragrance oils and I am LOVING the results!! :) |

I will keep using
When I first started making lotions, it hadn't even occurred to me that I needed a preservative because I was only making for myself. This is the first one ive tried and I haven't had any problems |

Excellent Product
I order this product as a preservative and in the past 2 years I have not had any problems with my lotions molding or going bad. I highly recommend this especially if making goat milk lotion as I do. |
|
| Felisha from The Valley
Used in Exfoliants & Sugar Scrubs |
Does the job
I use this in my oil based scrubs just for that extra protection. I feel you can warn customers about not getting the product in water but there's no guarantee that they will. Adding this preservative just gives me that peace of mind that my products will stay protected. I'm completely happy with it. |
